SUMMARY:Pop-up Book Club: Escaping the Housing Trap: The Strong Towns Response to the Housing Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of Escaping the Housing Trap: The Strong Towns Response to the Housing Crisis by urbanists Charles (Chuck) Marohn and Daniel Herriges. Vermont\, like many areas\, is grappling with a housing crisis\, where rising shelter costs are affecting communities. This book explores the tension between housing as an investment and housing as shelter\, offering a fresh perspective on the crisis. The authors provide a clear history of U.S. housing policy and explain how it led to a market that’s increasingly difficult for people to navigate. They argue that local\, neighborhood-level changes are key to restoring balance. Escaping the Housing Trap is essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of housing in America. Copies are available at the front desk\, and we welcome all Shelburnites to this important discussion. This program is brought to you in partnership with Shelburne’s Housing Committee.
